If the 'unexpected' happens to a project or a company, immediacy is the key to limiting damage to your reputation and that of your community.

Mike O'Reilly has a proven capacity in rapidly assessing issues and responding with ethical options that can be communicated to media, community or political sources. His crisis management knowledge and skills are fully established.  

He has a wealth of experience in major development and infrastructure project communications activities that call for balancing of the needs of the community with those of the constructor. Mike is the SA representative of Reputation Australia, a leading Sydney based communications training company.

In managing issues, we develop a rapid understanding of relevant topics - and overlay knowledge of public or government attitudes which might impact on an organisation. From there it is possible to plan and deliver communications using direct methods, mainstream media or, if necessary, preventive intervention.

Community Engagement Support:

No matter how long you have been in communications, a few days working 'face-to-face' in a Shopping Mall display is a great way to learn that dealing with the Public takes more than a media release.

Mike O'Reilly often works with SA's best known community consultation experts at Gould Thorpe Planning - a leading SA social planning and community consultation company. We connect directly ande confidently with the public. Working with GTP is equivalent to a five-star lesson in quality management and professional delivery of the best in formal but often 'informal' public consultation.
